Application filed October 21, 1918. Serial No. 258,948.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HENRY F. MAYsE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Girvin, in the county of Pecos and State of Texas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Shade and Curtain Holders, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in shade and curtain holders and the principal object of the inventlon 1s means carried by the upper sash for supporting the curtain pole and shade roll.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which is simple and durable in construction, reliable and efficient in operation and one which can be manufactured and placed upon the market at a minimum cost.

The invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a front view of a window to which my invention is attached.

Fig. 2 is a front view of one of the supporting members. f

Fig. 3 is a section on line 3-3 of Flg. 2.

Fig. 4: is a view of the sash fastenlng device.

In these views 1 indicates the window frame and 2 the upper sash while 3 represents the lower sash. My supporting members are secured to the upper sash so that when said sash is lowered for ventilating purposes the curtain and shade will also be lowered so as to not obstruct the open- %ach of my supporting members consist of a tubular member 4 having flanges 5 at its bottom to which the screws or the like are fastened to secure the device to the sash. This member 4 is provided with a series of holes 6 spaced apart throughout its length.

7 indicates the T shaped member having its stem 8 fitting in said tubular member, and said stem is provided with holes 9 adapted to register with holes 6. By passing a nail 10 through these holes the said stem may be held in adjusted position in said tubular member. As will be seen the two members of the T shaped member are of tubular form, and the upper arm of said member is provided with a central opening 11. This arm slidingly receives a tubular part 12 of the bracket 13, which carries the curtain pole and shade. This tubular part is provided with holes 14: and a pin 15 is adapted to pass through any one of these holes and the hole 12 so that the bracket is adjustably held in position in the T shaped member. The rest of the bracket is composed of the flat piece 16 bent at right angles and having the groove 17 therein for receiving the curtain pole and the slot or opening 18 for receiving the pintles of the shade roll.

It will thus be seen that the support may be adjusted in length so as to accommodate window frames of different depths and that it can also be adjusted to suit shade rolls of different lengths.

I provide means for holding the sashes locked in different positions and such means consists of a bar 19 having its upper end bent at right angles and secured to the up-' per sash. Said bar is provided with notches 20 spaced apart and adapted to engage a lug 21 on the lower sash. In this way by placing the lug in any desired notch the upper sash may be locked in any I desired position relative to the lower sash.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

What I claim is A device of the class described comprising a pair of supporting members, each member consisting of a tubular base having flanges on its lower end adapted to be secured to the upper sash, a T shaped mem- EYE ber of tubular form having its stem entering said base, said stem and base having holes therein and a pin engaging the said holes for adjustably securing said stein in said base, a bracket consisting of the fiat part having openings therein to receive'the shade roller and curtain pole and a tubular part entering the upper arm of the T shaped member said tubular part and upper arm having holes therein and a pin 10 bursa HENRY F. MAYSE.
